City's New Badge - Do You Like It?

[blueparrot]

I like it! Just a shame we couldn't just go back to the original, I do think it's been over-designed slightly - the crest overlapping looks wrong, etc.
Please excuse a shit photoshop, but a few quick changes get it looking a bit more City I think

On shirts I agree, but on the 3D versions like above the shop the overlapping works, so maybe that's why it was designed that way. Think Gary James said there were many versions of the name and dates around the outside and the final version just looked best. Either way I much prefer the new badge.

I like the new badge but just think the red rose should be smaller. No biggie though, much better than that bloody eagle......

No, it still looks like it comes from the BWFC school of crest designers. It is weak and insipid but suits those who enjoy the nostalgia trip.

I was hoping for a few oil wells on it, I'm led to believe that's what defines us these days

No, no, dear boy. It would need replacing when the Sheikh gets bored.

I quite liked the old birdie but much prefer the new trad badge. Pwoppa Citeh.

I'm not sure why they had to get rid of the three stars.

Only the cognoscenti understood its profound significance, like.

Got the old buzzard tattooed, don't mind getting a new one for this though

No. It's boring.

Any return to a round badge with a shield in the middle was going to be an improvement on the turkey of the last badge!

At first I didn't really like the design, I thought it looked cartoony and didn't think the rose was relevant any longer.

But it has really grown on me. It reflects the city of Manchester and it reflects City's history, which are the two most important things for our badge imo. The cartoony design is similar to Arsenal's updated badge and theirs looks modern and fit for the future.

Ours isn't perfect, it's a bit too busy compared with some other iconic badges. But it's basically a modern interpretation of the circular badge I grew up with and consider to be City's proper badge.

It's not perfect but it feels like a proper City badge, so for that reason I love it!

its beautiful. its basically the old badge and it represents us as a club and manchester really well. the digital version doesnt do it justice.
